Alternate Welt Pocket Method | No Facing! No Raw Zipper Edges!

[@puterpam]

Thank you! Thank you! I’ve watched dozens of videos for this task and don’t like the exposed zipper edges inside the pocket. You have solve the problem. This is a real game changer for me. Thank you so much.

[@RogueStitches]

I love the clean look it has. Happy sewing!

[@lisakdesigns7124]

Great video! Great instruction and information!

[@whereheleadsmeblessing8700]

Thank you for this tutorial. It is very well done. I clean my sewing space after each project because it gets blown up every time! That is why I love my own area.

[@RogueStitches]

You're welcome! I know exactly what you mean. I feel like it is impossible for me to create without making a mess.

That is so smart. Thank you sew much.

[@RogueStitches]

You are sew welcome!

[@brendaryder8140]

This is a great way to do these! (Although I may have to buy shares in a DST company!) lol I don't know how to add a photo to a comment or I would!

[@RogueStitches]

I do use quite a bit of DST. There are areas where most people clip that I just DST it and sew. lol

[@basketleigh]

What a beautifully tidy pocket/zip! What machine are you using? And what foot did you change to? I have a new industrial, but haven't been brave enough to change the foot...Thanks for your wonderfully clear instructions!

[@RogueStitches]

Hi! I'm using the Juki DU1181-N. It's a compound walking foot and my main bag making machine. I switched to a zipper foot. I'm happy to help you anywhere I can!

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Beautiful, do u cut the zipper front by hand or on a circuit cutter, I have a scan n cut and really need to learn how to use it to cut, zipper facings and connectors xx

[@RogueStitches]

I cut this one by hand, but I do have an SVG for it. I just didn't want to pull the Cricut out for only this simple cut.

[@FearlessBoricua]

Great job! Thanks for sharing! What is the name of the lining fabric?

[@RogueStitches]

Thanks! For my linings, I like to use waterproof canvas. This particular one is Ottertex WPC from Fabric Wholesale Direct.

[@LizMcDon]

What size and brand of DST are you using? Love this video!!

[@RogueStitches]

The DST I use is scotch brand in the 4mm. There's a link for the online shop where I get it in the description box. She has it in a few different sizes. I usually keep a couple sizes on hand for different uses.

[@v.r.sumner9693]

Great video! Thanks so much. What thread do you like to use in bag making?

[@RogueStitches]

I use a bonded poly thread. You can find a link in the description of the video.

[@diedre20020]

Did you just place the DST around the outside of the box you drew?

[@RogueStitches]

I drew my box, cut my center and up to the corners, placed the DST around the outside of the box, then folded the cut edges out over the DST to hold it in place.

[@diedre20020]

Are you using a #5 zipper

[@RogueStitches]

I am. It's almost all I use now.

[@yahiraburt6677]

What machine do you have. I desperately want an industrial but I just don't know what to get.

[@RogueStitches]

The machine I'm using in the video is the Juki DU1181-N.

[@suerush704]

What size material did you cut to go around the zipper?

[@RogueStitches]

For me it will vary from bag to bag. This particular one is 1.5" tall, by 11" wide. The opening for the zipper is centered and is .5" tall by 10" wide.
